The Royal Schiphol Group and security technology provider Pangiam are collaborating to create a new method for efficiently and safely screening hand luggage. In the future, the new artificial intelligence-powered system might make it possible for travellers to pass security checks more quickly without sacrificing their safety.
 
The collaboration's goal is to investigate how Pangiam's innovative technology may enhance and expedite the hand baggage screening process at Schiphol and other airports. The system analyses photos of hand luggage and employs algorithms and artificial intelligence to find prohibited items and other security threats. In the future, technology might assist staff members in this and expedite the procedure for travellers.
 
“We are fully committed to recruiting security colleagues and have been increasing the productivity of our security equipment recently, of course without compromising on the quality of security. In the future, this collaboration can contribute to more comfort for travellers thanks to secure and faster hand baggage screening. Safety always remains our priority.” – Philip van Noort, Director Security at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol
 
"Royal Schiphol Group has an international reputation for innovation and excellence in technology. This collaboration allows us to bring the benefits of artificial intelligence to the security checkpoint and improve the process," says Alexis Long, Head of Project DARTMOUTH at Pangiam. 
 
The first significant airport in Europe to implement Project DARTMOUTH is Schiphol, a partnership between Pangiam and Google Cloud. In order to further refine the system, Schiphol is putting the new technology to the test in real-world settings.

In order to further refine the system, Schiphol is putting the new technology to the test in real-world settings. The technique can be used with already-in-use hardware and tools, including the CT scans at Schiphol. Also, it can be used in conjunction with other programmes. The technology will be put into use on a large scale if it successfully completes the testing period and complies with all standards and European legislation.
 
The partnership between Pangiam and Schiphol is a component of a larger programme to quicken the development of innovative internal and external partner technological solutions.
